There are 7 ways to beat the market.

Each has a legend behind it. Each legend has one book that explains everything.

Find your style. Read the book. Build your edge.

🧵 A thread Image
📌 Style #1: Value Investing

Buy great businesses at unfair prices. Ignore the noise. Wait. Win.

Practitioners: Buffett, Munger, Klarman, Graham

◆ The Intelligent Investor — Benjamin Graham

Why this book: Written in 1949. Still the Bible of value investing. Graham invented the concept of margin of safety, the idea that you don't need to be right, you just need to not be wrong by too much.

Buffett calls it "the best book about investing ever written."

If you believe price and value are different things — this style is yours.Image
📌 Style #2: Growth Investing

Don't buy cheap. Buy right. Pay for quality. Let compounding do the rest.

Practitioners: Peter Lynch, Phil Fisher, Terry Smith

◆ Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits — Philip Fisher

Why this book: Fisher didn't care about P/E ratios. He wanted to know: Does the company have products that can grow sales for years? Does management think long-term? Is R&D real or theatre?

His "Scuttlebutt Method" — talking to suppliers, customers, and competitors before buying — is still used by top fund managers today.

Warren Buffett said he is "85% Graham and 15% Fisher." That 15% built a lot of wealth.

If you'd rather own a great company at a fair price — this style is yours.Image

‘Likes’ and why they matter on X

Likes were part of real-time social interaction and discovery. Moving them into a hidden/history area removes frictionless browsing, weak-tie networking, and accidental discovery between smaller accounts

It shifts X further from community interaction toward passive algorithmic consumption.

A thread …. 🪡
@grok @elonmusk ‘Likes’ and why they matter on X 🪡

This isn’t mainly about privacy.

It’s about removing an active social layer from the platform.

Likes used to function as live signals of:

•communities
•conversations
•emerging accounts

Now they’re buried behind extra steps.

🚨 The mental health industry made $280 billion last year.

You're still anxious. Still burned out. Still stuck.

Here are 5 Claude prompts that actually help. For free.

(Save this. They're not going to like it.) Image
1/ UNDERSTAND WHAT'S HAPPENING IN YOUR MIND

Act as a mental health coach who explains what's happening in my mind and builds a simple plan to feel better.

Tell me exactly what's going on mentally, give me 3 techniques I can use today, and build a 30-day wellness plan I can follow even on my worst days.


1. Ask me to describe what I'm going through before starting
2. Explain what's happening in my mind and why — no clinical jargon
3. Deliver 3 evidence-based techniques I can use immediately today
4. Build a simple 30-day mental wellness plan — realistic, not perfect
5. Design the plan to work even on the hardest days



- Plain language only — no clinical terms without explanation
- Techniques must be usable today — not after weeks of practice
- 30-day plan must be realistic for someone already struggling
- Always recommend professional support for serious concerns


What's Happening + Why → 3 Immediate Techniques → 30-Day Wellness Plan
2/ BREAK YOUR NEGATIVE THOUGHT PATTERN

Act as a cognitive behavioral therapist who identifies where negative thought patterns come from and rewires them permanently.

Break down my recurring negative thought, expose why it's not true, replace it with a powerful reframe, and build a 21-day practice to permanently change it.


1. Ask me to describe the recurring thought before starting
2. Identify exactly where this thought pattern comes from
3. Explain clearly why it doesn't reflect reality
4. Write a powerful reframe to replace it with
5. Design a daily 5-minute practice to rewire the pattern within 21 days



- Root cause must be specific — not "past experiences"
- Reframe must feel believable — not toxic positivity
- 5-minute practice must be simple enough to do every day
- Never dismiss the thought — acknowledge it before reframing


Root Cause → Why It's Not Reality → Powerful Reframe → 21-Day Daily Practice

If you’re living in Dubai, this is a thread for you:

2 years ago, I started putting some effort into improving my quality of life.

Here are some of the best changes I’ve made so far:

1. Purify your air.

I installed multiple Atem X Air Purifier units from IQAir at home and in my gym.Image
Image
The purifiers are great, but they can get a bit noisy at night.

So I asked IQAir UAE to design custom filters for my AC units.

I think I was the first person to do this in the UAE. They definitely took me for a complete air quality autist lmao.

With this setup, I can maintain 0 AQI at home even when the purifiers aren’t running.

The filters need to be changed every 3 months.

Here’s what they looked like after 3 months:Image
2. Clean and maintain your AC system every 3 months.

I have tried several companies over the years and The Healthy Home are definitely the goats for this.

Not just regular AC cleaning, but also proper duct cleaning.

Stubb: The Soviet Union marched 1,600km to Berlin in four years. Russia moved 60km into Donetsk in three.

Who knows modern warfare? Ukraine does. They are Europe's best security partner.

1/
Stubb: Ukraine kills or wounds 30–35,000 Russians per month. Kill ratio: 1 Ukrainian to 7–8 Russians.

In April, Ukraine took back more territory than Russia gained. 95% of damage comes from Ukrainian drones. The dead zone stretches 20–40km. Russia stopped advancing.

2/
Stubb: Most Russians now oppose the war. Ukraine strikes reach Moscow airports and St. Petersburg.

Russia shut down Telegram and WhatsApp. The war arrived home. The mood shifted — and now it's time to engage Russia directly.

Thread on why I think split-ticket voting is almost always the most rational voting option.🧵
Voting is, in one sense of the concept, irrational. The probability that you will ever be the decisive vote in any election you vote in is very close to zero.
So then why do we vote? Mainly because we exhibit behaviors that we want to model to others to follow. Studies have likewise shown that people are the most likely to vote when others know whether or not we voted.

So the REI "co-op uprising" isn't organic. It's a paid digital field program by the same @ufcw3000 leadership tied to the N. Seattle WinCo block. The cover story is worker advocacy. The substance is rent extraction.

When someone tells you to 'thank a union,' remember this. /1
If your follow the news, you might have read that REI co-op members "spontaneously" rejected the board slate last May. 115,000 of them. A celebrated win for co-op democracy. The grassroots speaking.

The problem with this story? The vendor that ran the campaign just published a case study taking credit for the whole thing. /2
PowerHouse Strategic, comms vendor for UFCW 3000, on their own marketing site:

"Our team ran digital, social, and earned media campaigns to generate a list of self-identified REI members."

"Mobilized more than 115,000 REI voters to reject REI's board slate." /3 Image
